Religions

[Kulturkampf]

I am curious about the religious stances of other people here.

I am a Christian and until recently I did not properly follow the beleifs; I have been following them more strictly for the last three or four months and the youthful ages of ignorance are leaving me in some way, I guess.

I always believed in this except for a lapse roughly 10 years ago when I was a member of the Young Communist League for a while. I was once a fool.

I understand; I was once named Chojin, too.

[Perndog]

I like Satan.

I would call myself an atheist, although I find that a little disingenuous being that I also believe that it's impossible to know either way. So I'm an atheist-leaning agnostic, I suppose. I attended a twice-a-week mini bible camp for a few weeks in 5th grade or so and found the tenets being discussed during the sermons to be very childish. Of course, they were childish, as it was a children's camp, but the silliness of it lead me on a long, boring journey to more sophisticated arguments for and against god's existence. I have found more reasons not to believe than to believe. Ergo, here I am.

Someone took a super-high resolution picture of 'the last supper'!

Cool, I guess!

I'm agnostic, because I believe that whether he exists or not is really not essential to living life and being a good person. And if I die and find out God really does exist, then he should damn well put his all-forgiving attitude to good use and forgive me for not believing in him in the past. Surely if anyone could understand my reasoning for not believing in God it should be God himself. :rolleyes

I'll admit I didn't get this at first, but now that I do...

:lol

I wish that I could multi-quote.

I do not get the chojin joke. At all. It must be really funny.

I think the entire notion of atheism versus theism in argument is very fun; I do it a lot and it never gets boring, like a good game of chess.

However, I think it is ironic that science comes into the argument as most of this hinges upon far different things; most Christians believe in theistic evolution or variations thereof.

Reform Jew here.

*waits for the inevitable venom about the Jewish Left* :blah

[Kulturkampf]

Many Jews are right wing.

Israel is one of the greatest countries on Earth.

The Jewish World Review is a great conservative syndicate.

Why would I complain? :)
